Open Account

Open your membership and checking account at Central Minnesota Credit Union (CMCU). You may do this by:

Verify Old Account

Make sure enough funds are available in your old account to cover any automatic payments, checks, and check card transactions that may still be withdrawn. Check maturity dates on Certificates of Deposit if transferring in order to avoid early withdrawal penalties.

Direct Deposits

Direct Deposit Change Request Form Send written notices to companies with which you have direct deposit (employer, government deposits, pension, transfers from other financial institutions, investment dividends, child support or court-issued deposits, etc.) notifying them that you want to switch your direct deposits to your new CMCU account.

Contact companies that take payments from your old checking account using a debit card. Inform them of your new CMCU debit card information. If you prefer, you may set up this payment as an automatic payment rather than a debit card payment using Bill Payer on Internet Banking.

Verify New CMCU Account

Verify that your direct deposits and automatic payments have begun posting to your new CMCU account.
